Dead bird hanging from structure

Reported via mobile in the Off the carriageway (NH) category anonymously at 08:45, Friday 23 February 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5618726.

There is a bird hanging from some netting on the underside of the A34 crossover with the A40. This is incredibly distressing (for a variety of reasons) so needs to be removed and the netting rearranged so that no further animals are needlessly killed. from Member of public.

Updates

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways about the animal on our network.

    Safety is our highest priority and any animals on the carriage way that pose a risk to vehicles and their occupants will be removed as quickly and safely as possible.

    Household pets, such as a dogs and cats, will be retrieved, and we endeavour to reunite pets with their owners if they can be identified through microchips or other identification. Wild animals, lying off the carriageway, on verges or the central reservation, are normally left to naturally decay unless they are a particular hazard, a danger to public health or there is a statutory obligation for testing or removal.

    Our local inspector team will make these assessments during their regular safety inspections.

    Kind regards National Highways
